I'm having trouble using my wh-1000xm4s with ubuntu. It connects fine, but it won't show up in PulseAudio. The strange thing is that it worked previously, but after I disconnected it doesn't work any longer. Any ideas on how to get it working again?

  • Turn on the headphones
  • Press the power button again and hold
  • The headset switches off, do not release the button.
  • Wait for it to turn back on in pairing mode. To release.

Then appears "WH-1000xm4" in the list of bluetooth devices, in addition to "THE_WH1000xm4". Select "WH-1000xm4".

After some searching I found out the answer. It seems like pulseaudio has troubles detecting that the headset is connected. For this you need to reset the bluetooth services;

sudo service bluetooth restart

Then just reconnect the headset, and that should work!

In my case what helped is:

  1. Pulse Audio -> Configuration
  2. Unchecking all the profiles except WH1000XM4 (WH1000XM3 in my case).

When I have the headset connected via Bluetooth but not appearing in pulseaudio, I do the following:

  1. Run in the terminal pulseaudio -k
  2. Reconnect the headset

After that it gets recognized.
